“#Why do youngsters keep crying to their parents for career help?<\/strong>”

A \u201cmommy\u201d wrote into your column because her son got arrested and while eventually all charges were dropped, he\u2019s still having trouble finding a job. What gets me is why is his \u201cmommy\u201d involved? This is a BIG problem with these millennials. What\u2019s this guy going to do if he gets reprimanded at a job? Call mommy?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You are talking to a guy who still cuts the crust off of his 16-year-old daughter\u2019s PB&J sandwiches, so I can\u2019t say that I completely agree with you! Now, could the young man have reached out to me directly? Sure. But this is no different than parents leveraging their network to help their kids land interviews or find jobs, which almost every parent does and has always done. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. When it becomes a problem is if the kids aren\u2019t putting in maximum effort and are just relying on their parents. I say, keep up the support, provided it is along with your child\u2019s total effort.<\/p>\n

My son just graduated with a degree in computer information systems and a GPA of 3.99. He has spoken with the career center at his college, they\u2019ve app<\/a>roved his resume and say he excelled at the mock interview. But, he\u2019s been looking for a job since December with no luck. He\u2019s getting down due to the lack of progress. I understand his degree is in high demand, he\u2019s smart, hard-working, and very personable, but needs a chance to prove himself. Any advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fear not, dad \u2014 it\u2019s going to work out for your son. Junior will be out of the house and off dad\u2019s payroll soon enough (although be prepared for the emotion when he does finally leave the nest). It\u2019s been a funky job market with COVID \u2014 hiring is robust, but still competitive and less traditional than usual. The one thing he can\u2019t do is get down or concerned. He just graduated, so it\u2019s too soon to stress. With any luck he\u2019s got the next 40-plus years of working to stress out. It can take a while to find that first job, so don\u2019t assume that anything is wrong. He should also use the career center of his school to network. They have employer relationships and access to alumni who are usually open to informational interviews.<\/p>\n
